Best Grill Brushes of 2026

"I'm really impressed with the robustness and solid feel of this grill brush, especially considering the affordable price. The straight, in-line design is a big improvement over the bulkier brushes I used before—it fits perfectly between the grill grooves and does a great job."

"Grilling ribs is so much easier with this rack. I was hesitant at first because it looked a bit cheesy, but the value for the price won me over. I can fit three full racks on my Weber now, and the rack is steady and easy to clean. It's definitely a game changer for BBQ nights at home."

"This grill cleaner is a great addition to my BBQ tools. The scraper tackles stuck-on char, and the long handle gives me a good grip for scrubbing. I like that the handle comes off for compact storage. Just be careful not to leave the handle near heat since it's plastic, but overall, it's worth the purchase."

"I've been using this grill brush for about two years now, and I'm really impressed. It outperforms my old wire brush, cleaning the grates much more thoroughly, and the build quality is excellent. I also appreciate the peace of mind that comes with the bristle-free design—no more worries about stray wires ending up in my food."

"After reading about this brush in Food & Wine magazine, I decided to upgrade from my old wire model. It's much safer and does a solid job of cleaning the grates. I feel confident using it, knowing there are no dangerous bristles to worry about. Definitely worth the investment for anyone who grills often."

"As someone who grills regularly, I've tried a lot of cleaning tools, but this one stands out. The bristle-free design is a game changer for safety, and the combination of the wire brush and sturdy scraper makes tackling tough residue easy. It’s comfortable to use, built to last, and reaches tricky corners better than most brushes I've owned."

"I’ve been using this grill brush for months and am seriously impressed by its durability, ergonomic grip, and safety—the bristle-free design means no worrying about metal in my food. It cleans thoroughly, tackles grease easily, and the heat resistance is a big plus. My only tiny gripe is the cleaning head can be a little tough to wash out, but with affordable replacement heads and easy maintenance, it’s still a five-star product in my book."

"I bought this after seeing horror stories about metal bristles in food, and honestly, it's a game changer for grill cleaning. My husband says it's simple to use, efficient, and does a great job keeping our grill spotless. We both feel a lot safer using this over our old metal brush."

"I was excited to try this as an alternative to wire brushes, but it’s been a bit frustrating to use. For me, the cleaning head is very hard to remove (especially with small hands), and soaking the head before use is messy and inconvenient. While the idea is great, I found it didn’t clean as well as I’d hoped, and it was awkward to handle. I ended up returning it after a few tries."

"I was looking for a safer alternative to steel bristle brushes after a bad experience, and this stainless mesh roller really surprised me. It cleaned my oven and grill grates far better than I expected—even old, baked-on grease came off with minimal effort. The roller even seemed to clean itself in warm water, and the built-in light made it easy to spot dirty areas. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase."

"My husband is picky about grill cleaners due to concerns over metal bristles breaking off, so I got this as a gift. Although it’s a bit on the pricey side, he genuinely likes it, especially because it’s dishwasher safe. After use, the roller came clean easily with hot water and looked brand new. We’re happy with this safer, more convenient option."

"This grill cleaner is well-designed and feels solid, but I did notice it’s not quite as powerful as advertised on tough grill grime. I had to go over stubborn spots several times, and it doesn’t get between closely spaced grates. Even so, I appreciate the ease of cleaning the roller and the protective guard, even if a bit of debris ends up on my apron and patio."

"I've been using this grill brush almost every time I barbecue, and after more than 30 uses, I'm still on the first head. It cleans thoroughly, lasts a long time, and is dishwasher safe. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality alternative to wire brushes."

"The main reason I got this was to avoid loose metal bristles in my food. The Velcro-attached pads are easy to swap out, and I really appreciate being able to toss them in the dishwasher. It does a fantastic job cleaning and feels much safer than my old wire brush."

"This cleaner is super simple to use and much safer since there are no bristles to worry about. Just dampen the pad and swipe—the handle is the perfect length to keep my arms safe from the heat. I love not having to stress about bristles ending up in my meals!"

"As a barbecue enthusiast with decades of experience, I can confidently say this kit really works on tough, baked-on residue. The handle design keeps my hands away from the heat, and the scrubbing heads are both powerful and safe. I also appreciate that there’s no chance of wire bristles ending up in my food."

"Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but this cleaner far outperformed my expectations. I’ve tried several non-bristle alternatives and none got my grates this clean. My grill looks like new again, and I love that the kit comes with extra sponges."

"I’ve never liked the wire brushes my husband used before, so I’m glad we tried this. It cleans well and comes with a replacement scrubber, though I think we’ll need more refills before the summer’s over. Much safer than bristle brushes."

"I’m genuinely impressed by how well this brush maintains my cast iron cookware. The bristles are tough but gentle, making it easy to remove stubborn food without harming the seasoning. The comfortable grip and overall durability make it a staple in my kitchen."

"This tool has made cleaning cast iron pans much easier for me. It’s sturdy, effective, and reliable—just what I need for tough stains or daily maintenance. Highly recommended for anyone with cast iron or steel pans."

"The OXO Good Grips brush gets the job done, but I wish the handle and bristles were a bit longer. It can be tricky to get into pan corners, but overall, it still performs well for general cleaning."

"After going through several modern grill cleaning gadgets, I finally switched back to this classic grill brush. It's beautifully designed, durable, and actually gets the job done. I love that it's 'old school'—if it isn't broken, why fix it? I'm confident this will last me a long time, especially with the spare brush heads included."

"This brush is an absolute beast. A few passes and my grill is spotless. The weight and size fit my hands perfectly (I'm 6'3"), and the brush's grooves make it easy to remove anything stuck between the bars. Highly recommend grabbing one!"

"If you want a grill brush that can scrub off stubborn carbon and feels solid enough to defend against a bear (or zombies!), this is it. The wooden handle and stainless bristles make it super tough, and it's lasted my father-in-law nearly 15 years. Worth every penny for reliable cleaning power!"

"I've tried many grill brushes, but this bristle-free design is by far the safest and most efficient for my cast iron and stainless-steel grates. I appreciate not having to worry about stray wires, and the replaceable head really adds value over time. It feels sturdy and reliable, even after plenty of use. Anyone looking for a practical, hazard-free grill brush should try this."

"For me, the standout feature is how easily it removes tough, stuck-on food without damaging my grill. The steam cleaning effect makes a huge difference, and the hefty wood handle gives it a premium feel. I use it frequently, and it still looks nearly new. The extra cleaning head is a great bonus, and I’m confident it’ll last me all summer, if not longer."

"After using the brush a few times, I noticed the scrubber pad wore out a bit faster than I hoped. That said, it's still a solid tool and does a great job cleaning hot grates. The included replica pad is a nice touch, and I’m hoping this was just a one-off issue with the pad’s durability. Overall, the brush feels well-made and effective."

"Since switching to this bristle-free grill brush, I feel a lot safer cleaning my grill. It removes grease and residue without worrying about loose bristles getting into the food. The stainless steel coils are strong yet flexible, and the solid handle keeps my hands away from the heat. After multiple uses, it still looks great and is super easy to rinse off. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a safer, reliable grill cleaning tool."

"I have used traditional wire brushes in the past, but this GRILLART bristle-free brush is a massive upgrade. There’s no risk of bristles ending up in food, and it scrapes the grates clean without scratching them. I love the replaceable head and the scraper that fits perfectly between the bars. My grill has never looked better, and even the coated grates are undamaged."

"The cleaning pad works well and really gets my grill clean, but it’s almost impossible to get it spotless again, even after using the dishwasher or soaking it. I keep using it because it still does the job, but I expect I’ll need to replace it after about a dozen uses. At least the company’s customer service was great when I reached out."
